well, my adventure to becoming a cop is nearing. after several written and physical exams and a nice 40 minute grueling interview, i have been accepted to the police academy in spite of my driving record. now i have to provide my own sidearm. i'm leaning towards the Glock 17. any pros and cons with this? any suggestions with any other gun? must be either 9mm or 40 caliber.

you cant get a .45? thats shitay, the glock is a sic gun imo, very reiliable i would get one if i had the monies

I don't care for Glocks (or any 9mm), I generally shoot best with heavier .45s. If you can try out various models before you buy, that would be the best way to go.

yeap, cop life for me...figured i'd have job saftey, however i thought of that before the economy went to shit and i was too far along to change.

as for the caliber, if i stay with 9mm or 40cal, the academy provides free ammo. plus, i'd rather get a gun i know i could pass with, then move up in size later, even though many departments are going with .40 cal as department issue.

*EDIT*
